"Wood Beez" is better, agree, but I have this 12" import and the B-side has their "Turntable Mix" which was fun to play in a elevated DJ booth where the partiers couldn't actually see the tables. I would shuffle around and flip a bunch of vinyl and those frat boys would think I was the coolest queer in town.

pre-... this is from the most awesome New Gold Dream album and I saw them live at the Ontario Theater in DC during this tour, and it was one of the best live shows I ever went to (1983, when most of you were still toddlers). My vinyl edition is also a lovely transparent gold and purple colored edition. But if you don't own the double-LP that "Theme" is from you should own it. Oh, and the 12" of "I Travel" from that album is a must:

"I have tried hard--but life is difficult, and I am a very useless person. I can hardly be said to have an independent existence. I was just a screw or a cog in the great machine I called life, and when I dropped out of it I found I was of no use anywhere else."

Ah, speaking of -- I trust you own his pre-The The solo album Burning Blue Soul which by the way he was discovered by Ivo of 4AD renown. And yes, I own the sought-after original pressing, not the re-release.

Yeah, I don't own that original pressing. My ex from back in the day gave me this Canadian pressing (came out in 1981 as well, but it is not as sought after --and for some reason I believe mine looks different than this pic that they have on Discogs). And, of course, I have the re-release on CD so that I can listen to it in the cah.

(though I'd find it better to separate out the New Wave/No Wave/New Romantic/College Alt-Rock era from the late 80's proto-House material... can I have a second? I was very fortunate to be in the UK when M/A/R/R/S, Colorbox and S Express exploded)

If you don't own the Colourbox LPs, Rev. Moon, you really *REALLY* need to score them

This (along with a 'Best of' compilation) is the only thing that I own from Colourbox. I bought some time in the 90s as I have always been obsessed with the one single by M|A|R|R|S. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on the mini-album or the rare EP (I have one of them them as mp3 files, but I won't count that).

And indeed, "Arena II" is just lovely.

I did like the Colourbox.. but sometimes they sounded a bit too much like them..

::faints::

Not that I disliked Ms. Vélez and crew (especially their "Can You Feel The Beat" and "I Wonder If I Take You Home", got some great memories of life in Queens with their shit being played all ovah the place), but I always looked at their music as more on the Freestyle Side of things --I see them kinda like Exposé, Noel, Sweet Sensation, and Information Society. I however detested Stevie B. and Debbie Deb.
